The Impact of Taxation in Combating Corruption and Promoting Sustainable Development Goals in Nigeria

Abstract

The role of taxes in combating corruption is studied, as is their potential contribution to Nigeria's progress towards the SDGs. Corruption has become a major roadblock to the country's progress, preventing both economic growth and social progress. This essay delves into the interplay between taxation, corruption, and long-term progress and stresses the value of an effective tax system in promoting openness, accountability, and economic development in Nigeria. This research builds on previous studies in the field to provide new insights into how the country's tax system might be improved to reduce corruption and boost sustainable growth. According to the data, taxes still play a critical role in setting the course for a brighter future. Nigeria can pave the way for economic prosperity, fairness, and societal progress by acknowledging taxes as a tool to combat corruption and promote sustainable development. This can contribute to a more just and stable global order.
